Introducing Real World Psychology Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Program Fall 2021 Semester - London

This module provides students with the opportunity to explore how theories, approaches and evidence from psychology have been applied to the real world. The module will first introduce students to the notion of applied psychology as a discipline, what is required for entry into the professions recognised by the British Psychological Society, and also those employment opportunities that are appropriate for those who do not wish to pursue a career as an applied psychologist. Students will then be presented with a number of topics that have been important for understanding how people behave in the ways they do in the real world. Such topic areas will include the application of biological, learning, and emotional aspects of behaviour.
